Micro-set

​

 

Skeltonhall Limited was founded in the UK in 1975 by Tony Hall, and in 1982 he developed and launched the 'Skeltonhall' Micro-set® MSD1 meter prover sphere detector.  Over the past 4 decades it has demonstrated itself to be the most dependable of instruments - with several thousand units in service globally, and near zero reported technical issues;

Micro-set® achieves the highest standards for reliability. 

​​

​

In 2019, Tony's son, Justin Hall introduced the Micro-set® MSD2. 

​

The MSD2 upgrade includes the following key features:

​

• 20x improved repeatability (vertical displacement resolution), now +/-0.01mm*                

​

• Addition of IECEx hazardous area certification.

​

• Addition of UKEX hazardous area certification.

​​

• Upgraded ATEX certification - now fully compliant with the current ATEX revision.​

​​

• Increased upper ambient temperature limit (Tamb.), now +75 deg C.

​

• Addition of Kidd 'Retro-fit' option

​

All the above is achieved whilst maintaining the same core engineering team, working to the same designs and production procedures, utilising the same manufacturing & test equipment, all done in the UK right through from 1982 to the present day...  

 

Manufacture of the Micro-set® has transferred to Skeltonhall's sister company HALL Engineering.

​

*Micro-set® MSD2 has been tested by a UKAS Accredited independent testing laboratory using certified measuring equipment traceable to UK national standards.  Repeated testing (on detectors randomly selected from separate batches) shows all results fall within a peak to peak spread of 0.01mm - we have added 2x safety factor for additional confidence.

​

​

Micro-set® is:

​

• Repeatable - high accuracy, far in excess of API Chapter 4 requirements.

• Replaceable - fully interchangeable, and one model fits all from 3" to 36" and larger..

• Robust - all stainless steel wetted parts with NACE MR 01-75 as standard.

• Reliable - simplicity guarantees fault-free operation for year after year..

• Reputable - Skeltonhall / HALL Engineering pedigree throughout..

​

A key feature of the MSD1 was the ability for any installed detector to be quickly replaced / upgraded as needed, and we have been keen to carry this feature forward to the MSD2.  Indeed, the MSD2 is completely compatible with the MSD1 pipe mounting boss & installation footprint/envelope.

​

This 100% interchangeability makes upgrading from MSD1 to MSD2 sphere detectors a quick and simple exercise.  Bringing the benefits of the higher accuracy (lower uncertainty), and more comprehensively certified device, immediately to your metering installation.

​

All pressure retaining materials are sourced from reputable & certified mills.  All manufacturing processes are carried out in the UK & each component is carefully tested at every stage.  Every unit is individually assembled by hand in the UK by skilled engineers with decades of experience.

​

Micro-set® is truly a 'Rolls-Royce' amongst sphere detectors...
